Lot O’ Talk about CROCOP coming back to the UFC-cool….but if any of ya watched the Hong Man Choi fight it is obvious that he was paid to lose……look at what he did to fedor in less than two minutes.

He doesn’t choose who he fights, that is the UFC’s fault. His take down defence in his last fight was excellent. On his feet Kongo can more than likely beat anyone. He is definately lacking in a ground game but the majority of the big fights have been won because it was the striking that set up the win. Kongo is one of the best strikers in the division and is improving his overall game all the time. He was supposed to be fighting Lesner before Randy did, and now they have given him some pretty mediocre opponents, why I don’t know, but the guy has the tools to definately take out anyone in the heavyweight division.

Carwin will destroy Gonzaga

I thought that Drysdale just opened his own gym. I doubt he’s training at his gym and at X-treme Couture as well.

naw, kongo has nothing off of his back and if brock was even a little worried about his striking he’d take him down.
that wasnt a slight to kongo’s striking by the way, jsut not sure if you can knock someone out when there head is that freaking big

I had mentioned this earlier though, Drysdale is the BJJ coach at Couture as well as Mir’s personal BJJ coach. I don’t know how this might work.

Anthony Johnson will make a big splash in 09, but I’m not a huge fan of his. Dunno why. And I wouldn’t consider Nate a breakout either. I was thinking Jim Miller, but I’m stuck on who I want to win between him and Gray. I actually like Maynard.

Ok so my WW will be Dustin Hazelet, and my LW will be Joe Lauzon (not really new guys, but I think they will burst onto the scene in their respective divisions this year)
